Antique Lions Of Whisky Glen Moray 1988 28-Year-Old

Description

A single cask 1988 vintage distilled at the Glen Moray distillery and release as part of the spectacular Antique Lions Of Whisky series.

Speyside’s Glen Moray is often associated with entry level malts, but it has long been a favourite of independent bottlers, including the Scotch Malt Whisky Association.

This expression is probably the lightest of this series, with fresh barley, apples and a grassy note. A clean, refined and polished whisky.

A very special release of whisky that created quite a stir when they were released in Europe earlier this year, the ‘Birds’ series is the first release from Antique Lions Of Spirit. The indie bottler was formed by Jens Drewitz of Germany’s Sansibar alongside Italian whisky merchants Max Righi (Silver Seal) and Diego Sandrin (Whisky Antique).

This release is a homage to the Moon Import bottlings prominent in Europe in the ‘90s and ‘00s. Often beautifully stylised, this homage series has some of the best packaging we’ve ever seen.

The whiskies have been selected to have an ‘old world European’ style, so expect them to be soft, elegant and fruity with fantastic poise.

There are less than 300 bottles of each of the expressions in this first Antique Lions Of Whisky ‘The Birds’ and even less of complete sets. The Oak Barrel will be tasting the entire set of the whiskies at an event Tuesday 17 October. Details here.
